@theAliceRoberts @egipam @janeclarejones @TwisterFilm @RCollumbell @TriciaFrasman Do you think it’s fair for transwomen to participate in female sports?

@theAliceRoberts @egipam @janeclarejones @TwisterFilm @RCollumbell @TriciaFrasman This is a very simple question. Did you miss it or are you ignoring it?

@theAliceRoberts @egipam @janeclarejones @TwisterFilm @RCollumbell @TriciaFrasman Here is Selina Soule. She used to win sprint races.

@theAliceRoberts @egipam @janeclarejones @TwisterFilm @RCollumbell @TriciaFrasman Now she loses sprint races. Now she fails to qualify for junior championships.

Because now she has to race against males.

@theAliceRoberts @egipam @janeclarejones @TwisterFilm @RCollumbell @TriciaFrasman These males.

These males who believe they are females (whatever, knock yourselves out).

These males who have been given space in those female races by people like you.

@theAliceRoberts @egipam @janeclarejones @TwisterFilm @RCollumbell @TriciaFrasman Now she’s a young female whose future athletic career is threatened by ‘being kind’, which has morphed from a general willingness to rub along together to a systematic dismantling of female rights and spaces.

@theAliceRoberts @egipam @janeclarejones @TwisterFilm @RCollumbell @TriciaFrasman Now she’s a female who is harrassed for raising a complaint that her situation - a female losing races and her aspirations to males - just might be a little unfair.

@theAliceRoberts @egipam @janeclarejones @TwisterFilm @RCollumbell @TriciaFrasman Now those males are the best female runners in the state.

And that makes sense to you?

This is what you’re asking for. Aren’t you delighted at this situation?

@theAliceRoberts @egipam @janeclarejones @TwisterFilm @RCollumbell @TriciaFrasman Now she’s a female who watches her own sport from the sidelines.

Anyone who thinks this is acceptable should be ashamed.
